Custom counter/integer on PCs

I was thinking it would be nice if a GM could create a custom counter or integer, stored on a PC or other creature. I think I saw a suggestion for an ammo counter on this board, but I was thinking of something with broader applications. The counter name would be universal to all creatures, and could either be created outside of d20Pro and stored in a simple text file, or possibly created within the game itself. By default, a custom counter would be set on all creatures to 0. The players could view the values of the counters under the Status tab of the Mini window. Although the counter would have to be incremented or decremented manually by the GM, counters could keep track of a lot of different things. For example:

• Vitality Points
• Sanity
• Non-standard currency
• Action/Hero Points
• Psionic Power Points
• Remaining ammo

 

I didn't even think of that. :? Setting up an ability with charges would be a great workaround. I'll just have to be careful not to select Rest->All. Thanks!
